You have relatives who aren't really your relatives You sing the same song - “100 lat” - on every occasion (weddings, birthdays, baby showers) Your name always gets slaughtered on the first day of school

Quoting: basiaa Your name always gets slaughtered on the first day of school One of the coolest things that happened when I first met my wife, was that she saw my surname, and pronounced it perfectly. It was bliss.

You know you are Polish when you need a partner to change a lightbulb, and he is the one rotating the ladder...also you know you are a Polish man if you have 'duze chuj'!... Dziekuje!!!

Actually I was discussing matters of culture, religion & politics with an Irish Catholic female friend...but I guess this thread falls under the 'culture' category!

You know your polish when you get a university degree but you travel to western europe to get down on your hands and knees to clean toilets.

In response to Siol: Hell, that's whats happening to Americans with college degrees right now in the USA...except, all the toilet cleaning jobs are being taken by Mexicans because they work cheaper!...it's called the global economy!

Quoting: basiaa Your name always gets slaughtered on the first day of school How true is that :) I remember being asked at my first school how can I remember to spell my name (5 year olds) and I was utterly indignant and said the same way you can !!! It feels quite good after all these years to hear that other peole had similar experiences. That's one of the many reasons I love this Forum :) Quoting: basiaa when you can spot Polish people like Asians can spot each other Again, it's great to hear someone else say that. I can tell a Polish person straight away. Next an Eastern European (other countries than Poland) too. Quoting: magda09 when polish comes out voluntarily while speaking any other language to someone who do not know polish :D I don't have that problem anymore :( I did until I started work. I used to think in Polish, then convert it to English until I left school. But once I started thinking in English and converting to Polish, I started slowly to lose some of the Polish vocabulary. Sometimes when I was little, I'd be playing with friends and polish words would creep in.......was funny now when I look back. You know you are Polish when someone mentions pierogi and your mouth starts to water <g>

Quoting: Lady in red Next an Eastern European (other countries than Poland) too. I could tell the lady who was serving me coffee recently was Eastern European but couldn't quite place her accent (I knew it wasn't Polish) so I asked. She was Czechoslovakian. (sp) we had a nice chat and she spoke to me in Polish , was good. There's an affinity isn't there ? Quoting: Daisy ou're very good at spotting Russians ;) My parents had two good Russian friends. Their accent is very easy to identify when they speak. It's quite a bit harsher than some of the other Eastern European countries I think (not sure what others think of that, would be interesting to hear their views).

Quoting: Patrycja19 you buy lots of ketchup. It always struck me as laughable that the tomato, with its origins in Central/South America, was taken by the Italians who developed a wonderful cuisine based on its culinary potential, and taken by the Americans who turned it into a sauce to accompany skinny french fries Quoting: sledz they use mayo in Europe...on fries I`ve seen it..ick Delicious :-)

Quoting: Spook Italians who developed a wonderful cuisine Fantastic stuff. Quoting: Spook taken by the Americans who turned it into a sauce to accompany skinny french fries Nasty stuff. Give me potatoes with mayonnaise instead any day. Brown sauce is good. Curry sauce... (I'm drifting) Quoting: Patrycja19 you buy lots of ketchup Keep it in the fridge or in the cupboard?

You know you're polish when you can't pronounce "th" Thanksgiving becomes "Sanksgeeveeng" Happy birthday becomes "HAPPY BERRSDAY" That cracks me up....

Quoting: terenowiec You know you're polish when you can't pronounce "th" I had my wife practice saying "This, That and the other Thing" over and over and over again. Now, she gets it right, sometimes. I guess there is no TH combination / Sound in Polish...

re: You know you're Polish when... ? - To me, being Polish means honestly and unflinchingly caring for Poland and Poles first.
